Description

本発明は、携帯機に関する。より具体的には、たとえば、自動車等車両のリモートキーレスエントリシステムなどでリモコン装置として使われる携帯機に関する。   The present invention relates to a portable device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a portable device used as a remote control device in a remote keyless entry system of a vehicle such as an automobile.

リモートキーレスエントリシステムとは、マッチ箱程度の小さなリモコン装置（以下、携帯機という。）の押しボタンを操作するだけで、メカニカルキーを使用することなく、ドアの施解錠等を行うことができる便利なシステムである。また、この発展型として、携帯機の押しボタン操作を不要にしたシステムもある。発展型システムでは携帯機を身につけた状態で、車両ドアのエントリボタンを押してドアの施解錠を行うことができ、いちいち携帯機をポケットから取り出す必要がない。   The remote keyless entry system is a convenient way to lock and unlock doors without using mechanical keys by simply operating the push buttons of a remote control device (hereinafter referred to as a portable device) as small as a match box. System. In addition, there is a system that eliminates the need to operate a push button on a portable device as this advanced type. In the advanced system, the user can press the entry button on the vehicle door to lock and unlock the door while wearing the portable device, and there is no need to take the portable device out of the pocket.

こうした携帯機はいずれも屋外で使用されるため、雨天時等の防水対策が不可欠である。また、いずれも使い捨て型の電池で動作するため、その電池の交換作業の容易性も考慮しなければならない。   Since all of these portable devices are used outdoors, it is indispensable to take waterproof measures in the rain. Moreover, since all operate | move with a disposable battery, you must consider the ease of the replacement | exchange operation | work of the battery.

従来の携帯機の電池交換は、大きく分けて次の二つの方法で行われていた。第一の方法は携帯機のケースを分解して電池を交換するというものである（たとえば、特許文献１〜３参照）。この第一の方法を「ケース分解式」と呼ぶことにする。第二の方法は携帯機のケースに取り外し可能な電池蓋を取り付けておき、その電池蓋を開けて電池を交換するというものである（たとえば、特許文献４参照）。この第二の方法を「電池蓋取り外し式」と呼ぶことにする。   The battery exchange of the conventional portable device is roughly performed by the following two methods. The first method is to disassemble the case of the portable device and replace the battery (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). This first method will be referred to as a “case decomposition type”. The second method is to attach a removable battery lid to the case of the portable device, open the battery lid, and replace the battery (see, for example, Patent Document 4). This second method will be referred to as “battery cover removal type”.

ケース分解式の欠点は、電池交換の際に、ケース内部の電子基板が脱落してしまうおそれがあることである。電子基板をケースに固定（ビス止め等）しておけば脱落を回避できるが、製造コストが嵩むので好ましくない。   The disadvantage of the case disassembly type is that the electronic board inside the case may fall off when the battery is replaced. If the electronic substrate is fixed to the case (screwed or the like), it can be prevented from falling off, but it is not preferable because the manufacturing cost increases.

これに対して、電池蓋取り外し式は、電子基板の脱落がなく、ケース分解式の欠点を補うことができる点で優れているものの、一方で、以下の不都合がある。   On the other hand, the battery lid detachable type is superior in that the electronic substrate does not drop off and can compensate for the disadvantages of the case disassembly type, but has the following disadvantages.

図８は、電池蓋取り外し式の従来の携帯機を示す図である（特許文献４参照）。この図において、電池の交換は、（１）携帯機１のケース２に開けられた電池収容穴３にボタン型の電池４をセットする。（２）防水のためのＯリング５を入れる。（３）電池蓋６を被せて電池蓋６の突起６ａと電池収容穴３の側面凹部３ａとを勘合させる。（４）電池蓋６とケース２とをネジ７で固定するという手順で行われるが、電池交換の際にＯリング５を紛失してしまうおそれがあるという不都合がある。   FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a conventional portable device with a battery lid removal type (see Patent Document 4). In this figure, the battery is replaced by (1) setting the button-type battery 4 in the battery housing hole 3 opened in the case 2 of the portable device 1. (2) Insert the O-ring 5 for waterproofing. (3) Cover the battery cover 6 to fit the protrusion 6 a of the battery cover 6 and the side recess 3 a of the battery housing hole 3. (4) The procedure is to fix the battery lid 6 and the case 2 with the screws 7, but there is a disadvantage that the O-ring 5 may be lost when the battery is replaced.

特開２００３−２０１７８１号公報（ケース分解式）JP 2003-201781 A (case disassembly type) 特開２００３−９０１５２号公報（ケース分解式）JP 2003-90152 A (case disassembly type) 特開２００１−３３９１７６号公報（ケース分解式）JP 2001-339176 A (case disassembly type) 特開平９−１２１３９２号公報（電池蓋取り外し式）JP-A-9-121392 (Battery lid detachable type)

以上のとおり、ケース分解式にあっては電子基板の脱落という不都合があり、電池蓋取り外し式にあってはＯリング等の部品紛失のおそれがあり、いずれの方式も未だ改善の余地がある。   As described above, the case disassembly type has an inconvenience of dropping off the electronic substrate, and the battery lid removal type has a risk of losing parts such as an O-ring, and both methods still have room for improvement.

そこで、本発明は、特に部品紛失の回避を図った携帯機を提供することを目的としている。   In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable device that avoids loss of parts.

本発明に係る携帯機は、電池収容穴を有するトランスミッターモジュールと、前記電池収容穴に脱着可能に取り付けられる電池蓋とを備え、前記トランスミッターモジュールは、前記電池収容穴を間にして所定の距離で対向する一対の壁部を有し、前記電池蓋は、電池を収容するための電池収容部と、前記トランスミッターモジュールの前記壁部に形成された被係合部と脱着自在に係合する係合部と、弾性素材で形成された防水シールを装着するための装着部とを有し、前記防水シールは、前記電池収容部に前記電池を収容した状態の前記電池蓋の前記係合部を、前記トランスミッターモジュールの前記被係合部に取り付けたときに、前記電池蓋と前記トランスミッターモジュールとの間に介在して、前記電池収容穴の防水を行うとともに、前記防水シールの一部を前記トランスミッターモジュールの前記壁部のいずれか一方の側の前記電池蓋の側面まで延在させ、この延在部分を、前記係合部を前記被係合部に取り付ける際の反発リブとしたことを特徴とするものである。

It is characterized by having a rebound rib .

本発明において、防水シールは電池蓋に設けられた溝に嵌め込まれ、かつその一部が突起に沿って配置されている。したがって、携帯機の電池を交換する際、防水シールは電池蓋と一体になっているので紛失するおそれがない。また、電池蓋をボディに取り付けた際、突起に沿って配置された防水シールの一部分は、圧縮された状態であって反発力を働かせているので、電池蓋がボディから外れにくくなる。   In the present invention, the waterproof seal is fitted into a groove provided in the battery lid, and a part of the waterproof seal is disposed along the protrusion. Therefore, when replacing the battery of the portable device, the waterproof seal is integrated with the battery lid, so there is no risk of losing it. In addition, when the battery cover is attached to the body, a part of the waterproof seal arranged along the protrusion is in a compressed state and exerts a repulsive force, so that the battery cover is difficult to come off from the body.

Thus, the battery lid 24 and the lower body 18 are integrated.

図５は、電池蓋２４及び防水シール３４の外観図であり、（ａ）は電池２５を入れた側を上向きにして斜め方向から電池蓋２４を見た図、（ｂ）は電池蓋２５に装着前（または電池蓋２５から取り外した）状態の防水シール３４を同方向から見た図である。これらの図において、電池蓋２４は、その全体形状が厚みＤを有する横長の箱形に一体成形されて所要の機械的強度が確保されており、さらに、既述のとおり、その短辺側の二側面に突起２６〜２８を形成すると共に、概ね中央部分に電池２５を収容するための丸穴状の電池収容部２５ａを形成し、且つ、ゴム等の弾性素材で形成された防水シール３４を装着するための溝２５ｂを形成している。   5A and 5B are external views of the battery lid 24 and the waterproof seal 34. FIG. 5A is a diagram of the battery lid 24 viewed from an oblique direction with the side into which the battery 25 is placed facing upward, and FIG. It is the figure which looked at the waterproof seal 34 of the state before mounting (or removed from the battery cover 25) from the same direction. In these drawings, the battery lid 24 is integrally formed in a horizontally long box shape having a thickness D as a whole to ensure the required mechanical strength. Further, as described above, the battery lid 24 has a short side. Protrusions 26 to 28 are formed on the two side surfaces, and a round hole-shaped battery housing portion 25a for housing the battery 25 is formed in a substantially central portion, and a waterproof seal 34 formed of an elastic material such as rubber is provided. A groove 25b for mounting is formed.

溝２５ｂは、電池蓋２４の一面（電池２５の収容面）の周縁部に途切れなく巡らされており、この溝２５ｂに装着された防水シール３４によって、電池蓋２４と下ボディ１８の間の防水を行うようになっている。また、防水シール３４の一部（反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃ）は、電池蓋２４の突起２６、２７が形成された側面にも及ぶように成形されており、この反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃは、以下に詳述するとおり、電池蓋２４を下ボディ１８に取り付ける際に重要な役割を果たすものである。   The groove 25b is looped around the periphery of one surface of the battery lid 24 (the battery 25 housing surface), and the waterproof seal 34 attached to the groove 25b provides waterproofing between the battery lid 24 and the lower body 18. Is supposed to do. Further, a part of the waterproof seal 34 (repulsion ribs 34a to 34c) is formed so as to extend to the side surface where the protrusions 26 and 27 of the battery lid 24 are formed. As described in detail, the battery lid 24 plays an important role when attached to the lower body 18.

図６は、電池蓋２４を下ボディ１８に取り付ける際の手順図である。この図において、まず、（ａ）に示すように、電池２５を入れた電池蓋２４を矢印Ｐ１の方向に斜めにし、電池蓋２４の一方の側面の突起２６、２７を下ボディ１８の壁２９の開口３１、３２に差し入れる。次いで、（ｂ）に示すように、図面の左方向（矢印Ｐ２の方向）に力を加えると、防水シール３４の反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃが圧縮変形し、この反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃの圧縮変形により、電池蓋２４の図面に向かって右側面と壁３０との間に若干の隙間が生じる。この状態で、電池蓋２４を、突起２６、２７と開口３１、３２の係合箇所を支点にして、図面に対し時計回り方向（矢印Ｐ３の方向）に適量回転させて電池蓋２４をほぼ水平状態にする。そして、電池蓋２４から手を離すと（矢印Ｐ２方向への力の印加を解除すると）、（ｃ）に示すように、反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃの反発力によって、電池蓋２４の右側面と壁３０との間の隙間が無くなり、電池蓋２４の突起２８と壁３０の開口３２とが契合する。   FIG. 6 is a procedure diagram for attaching the battery lid 24 to the lower body 18. In this figure, first, as shown in (a), the battery cover 24 containing the battery 25 is slanted in the direction of the arrow P1, and the protrusions 26 and 27 on one side surface of the battery cover 24 are placed on the wall 29 of the lower body 18. Are inserted into the openings 31, 32. Next, as shown in (b), when a force is applied in the left direction of the drawing (the direction of the arrow P2), the rebound ribs 34a to 34c of the waterproof seal 34 are compressed and deformed, and the rebound ribs 34a to 34c are compressed and deformed. A slight gap is formed between the right side surface and the wall 30 in the drawing of the battery lid 24. In this state, the battery lid 24 is rotated by an appropriate amount in the clockwise direction (the direction of the arrow P3) with respect to the drawing with the engaging portion of the protrusions 26 and 27 and the openings 31 and 32 as fulcrums. Put it in a state. Then, when the hand is released from the battery lid 24 (when the application of force in the direction of the arrow P2 is released), as shown in (c), the right side surface and the wall of the battery lid 24 are repelled by the repulsive force of the repulsion ribs 34a to 34c. 30 is eliminated, and the protrusion 28 of the battery lid 24 and the opening 32 of the wall 30 are engaged.

以上のとおり、本実施形態における携帯機１０は、ケース部１３の内部に実装するトランスミッターモジュール１６を、上ボディ１７と下ボディ１８の二分割構造とすると共に、下ボディ１８に、互いにおおむね平行となるように設けられた、少なくとも一対の壁２９、３０を立設して、それらの壁２９、３０に電池２５を収容した電池蓋２４を係合させる構造としたので、電池２５の交換作業の際に電子基板２１が脱落せず、しかも、防水シール３４の紛失を招くこともないという効果が得られる。   As described above, in the portable device 10 according to the present embodiment, the transmitter module 16 mounted in the case portion 13 has a two-part structure of the upper body 17 and the lower body 18, and the lower body 18 is substantially parallel to each other. Since at least a pair of walls 29, 30 provided so as to stand up and the battery lid 24 accommodating the battery 25 is engaged with the walls 29, 30, the battery 25 can be replaced. At this time, the electronic substrate 21 does not fall off, and the waterproof seal 34 is not lost.

すなわち、本実施形態における電池２５の交換手順は、新しい電池２５を入れた電池蓋２４を斜めにして、反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃを圧縮させながら、下ボディ１８の一方の壁２９の開口３１、３２に電池蓋２４の突起２６、２７を契合させ、その後、反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃの圧縮を維持したまま、下ボディ１８の他方の壁３０の開口３３に電池蓋２４の突起２８を契合させるだけで行うことができるが、この電池交換作業に際して、上ボディ１７と下ボディ１８との間で電子基板２１がしっかりと保持されているから、電子基板２１の脱落は起こりえないし、しかも、本実施形態の防水シール３４は、従来技術のＯリング５（図８参照）に相当するが、この防水シール３４は、電池蓋２４の溝２５ｂに嵌め込まれていると共に、その一部が反発リブ３４ａ〜３４ｃとして、電池蓋２４の一側面にも巡らされているから、電池交換作業に際して、この防水シール３４も脱落せず、したがって、紛失するおそれもない。   That is, in the procedure for replacing the battery 25 in this embodiment, the battery lid 24 containing the new battery 25 is inclined and the repulsion ribs 34a to 34c are compressed, while the openings 31 and 32 of the one wall 29 of the lower body 18 are compressed. The projections 26 and 27 of the battery lid 24 are engaged with each other, and then the projection 28 of the battery lid 24 is engaged with the opening 33 of the other wall 30 of the lower body 18 while maintaining the compression of the rebound ribs 34a to 34c. Although the electronic board 21 is firmly held between the upper body 17 and the lower body 18 during the battery replacement operation, the electronic board 21 cannot be dropped off. The waterproof seal 34 corresponds to the O-ring 5 of the prior art (see FIG. 8). The waterproof seal 34 is fitted in the groove 25b of the battery lid 24 and a part thereof. As repulsive ribs 34 a - 34 c, because they are Megurasa to one side of the battery cover 24, when battery replacement, without the waterproof seal 34 nor falling, therefore, there is no risk of losing.

また、本実施形態の電池蓋２４は、従来技術の電池蓋（たとえば、図８の電池蓋６）に比べて、そのサイズを小さくできるという効果もある。   In addition, the battery lid 24 of the present embodiment has an effect that the size can be reduced as compared with the battery lid of the prior art (for example, the battery lid 6 of FIG. 8).

図７は、電池蓋２４の面積比較図である。この図において、電池蓋２４の短辺側の寸法Ａは、少なくとも電池２５の直径Ｂと、防水シール３４を嵌め込むための溝２５ｂの形成スペースＣとを加えた大きさでよい。これに対して、従来技術の電池蓋６（図示の都合上、円形にしている。）は、Ｏリング５の装着スペースだけでなく、ネジ７の取り付けスペースや突起６ａの形成スペースなどを確保しなければならず、したがって、本実施形態の電池蓋２４の寸法Ａに比べて、大きくならざるを得ない。   FIG. 7 is an area comparison diagram of the battery lid 24. In this figure, the dimension A on the short side of the battery lid 24 may be a size obtained by adding at least the diameter B of the battery 25 and the formation space C of the groove 25b for fitting the waterproof seal 34 therein. On the other hand, the battery lid 6 of the prior art (circular for convenience of illustration) secures not only a space for mounting the O-ring 5 but also a space for mounting the screws 7 and a space for forming the protrusions 6a. Therefore, it must be larger than the dimension A of the battery lid 24 of the present embodiment.

かかる本実施形態の電池蓋２４のメリット（寸法Ａが小さくなる。）は、とりわけ、メカニカルキー内蔵タイプの携帯機１０において、好ましいものである。携帯機１０の内部にメカニカルキー１５を収容するためのスペースを確保する必要があり、電池蓋２４の寸法Ａが小さくなるほど、そのスペースを確保しやすくなるからである。   The merit (dimension A is reduced) of the battery lid 24 of this embodiment is particularly preferable in the portable device 10 with a built-in mechanical key. This is because it is necessary to secure a space for accommodating the mechanical key 15 inside the portable device 10, and as the dimension A of the battery lid 24 becomes smaller, it becomes easier to secure the space.
